Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pellicle used as the dust-proof cover during exposure of a photomask or a reticle.
  • a mask comprising a glass sheet and a circuit pattern of a vacuum deposition film of chromium or the like (hereinafter called mask) formed on the surface of the glass sheet is used, and the circuit pattern is transferred to a resist-coated silicon wafer.
  • the circuit pattern is transferred to the wafer and a defective product is formed.
  • a stepper when light exposure is carried out by using a stepper, the risk that all of the chips formed on a wafer will be defective is increased, and an adhesion of foreign matter to a circuit pattern of a mask or the like becomes a serious problem. Therefore, a pellicle has recently been developed and used by which this problem is eliminated.
  • the pellicle comprises a transparent film of nitrocellulose or the like spread on one side face of a pellicle frame made of aluminum, a double-adhesive tape is applied to the other side face of the pellicle, and the pellicle is attached to a mask.
